Pacquiao: “I will abide by the NSAC requirements like in all of the fights in boxing history, including all of my fights”

by

Boxing’s pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao became more incensed at Floyd Mayweather Jr., Floyd Sr. and executives of Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) for twisting facts and coming up with false statements that intended to cover up the mess that they created even as they put the blame on the Filipino and his team for the snag of talks to make the projected biggest fight in history from happening.

“I can’t believe these guys can lie without batting an eyelash and they would even make it appear that I am the culprit for the delay of the fight and saying that I don’t want it to happen,” said Pacquiao in Tagalog, as he released part of the information that he has been keeping—proof that Mayweather Jr. directly accused him of performance enhancement drugs (PED) use..

In an interview at Live Fight, the unbeaten Froch said “If I took a bad defeat [like Khan did against Breidis Prescott] I would walk through fire to get back at the guy. I wouldn’t let it go like that, no way. But that’s me”. Ouch! That’s got to hurt. It looks like Froch and me have finally found something that we can agree on. I haven’t been able to figure out for the past year why Khan is so reluctant to get back in the ring with Prescott.

It’s only been three months since the 38-year-old Klitschko last fought and with that kind of short time between bouts, Klitschko could find himself at less than 100% against Johnson. Klitschko is getting up there in age at 38 and has a history of suffering bad injuries both in the ring and in training.
